    Congenital Anomalies of Uvea

    Uploaded by

    Harika Guduru
    This document summarizes various congenital anomalies of the uveal tract. It describes heterochromia of the iris, which is variation in iris color. It also discusses corectopia, polycoria, congenital aniridia, persistent pupillary membrane, and congenital coloboma of the uveal tract. Congenital anomalies discussed include abnormally placed pupils, absence of the iris, remnants of anterior vascular sheaths of the lens appearing as stellate shreds in the pupil, and oval defects in the inferonasal quadrant of the eye caused by defective closure of the embryonic cleft. The document also mentions albinism as a hereditary condition with defective pigment development throughout the body.

    There are various types of congenital anomalies of uveal tract: Heterochromia of iris Corectopia Polycoria Congenital aniridia Persistent pupillary membrane Congenital coloboma of uveal tract Albinism

    4/22/12

    HETEROCHROMIA
    It refers to variations in the iris colour. It is usually of two types: 1) HETEROCHROMIA IRIDIUMColour of one iris differs from other. 2) HETEROCHROMIA IRIDISothers.

    One sector of iris differs from

    These conditions are due to absence of

    DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS:
    SIDEROSIS MALIGNANT MELANOMA OF IRIS HETEROCHROMATIC CYCLITIS

    CORECTOPIA
    It refers to abnormally eccentric placed pupil. More usually shifted to the nasal side.

    CONGENITAL ANIRIDIA(IRIDEMIA)
    Congenital absence of iris. TRUE ANIRIDIArare) Complete absence of iris.( extremely

    CLINICAL ANIRIDIAPresence of peripheral rim of iris . Zonules of lens and ciliary processes are often present.

    COMPLICATIONS:
    4/22/12

    4/22/12

    PERSISTENT PUPILLARY MEMBRANE


    It is due to remnants of anterior vascular sheats of lens. Characterised by stellate shaped shreds of the pigmented tissue coming from the anterior surface. These may be either freely floating or attached to ant. chamber . Sometimes there may be a supporting stroma consisting of pigment cells. Central brown dots may be retained on the pupil.

    CONGENITAL COLOBOMA
    Absence of tissue of iris, ciliary body & choroid. PATHOGENESIS: Defective closure of embryonic cleft. This leads to maldevelopment of uveal & retinal tissues. TYPES OF COLOBOMAS:
    1) Typical coloboma4/22/12

    It is situated in the inferonasal quadrant &

    FEATURES OF COLOBOMA:
    Oval or comet shaped defect with rounded

    apex towards disk.

    Few vessels are seen over the Surface may be irregularly
